< Isaiah 50 >

1 This is the word of the Lord: Where is the statement which I gave your mother when I put her away? or to which of my creditors have I given you for money? It was for your sins that you were given into the hands of others, and for your evil-doing was your mother put away.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Ere baruwa mar weruok manyiso nine ariembo minu? Koso ngʼato nitie mane achiwene mondo achulgo gope ma an-go? Nousu nikech richou; kendo minu noriembi nikech ketho mage.
2 Why, then, when I came, was there no man? and no one to give answer to my voice? has my hand become feeble, so that it is unable to take up your cause? or have I no power to make you free? See, at my word the sea becomes dry, I make the rivers a waste land: their fish are dead for need of water, and make an evil smell.
Kane abiro iru, angʼo momiyo ne ok ayudo ngʼato? Kane aluongou, ere gima omiyo ne ok ngʼato odwoka? Koso uparo ni bada ne chiek ma ok nyal konyou? Uparo ni aonge gi teko mar resou? Wuoyona matin nomiyo nam oduono, kendo ne amiyo aore obedo piny motwo mi rech manie eigi otho kendo otop nikech onge mar pi.
3 By me the heavens are clothed with black, and I make haircloth their robe.
Aloko polo doko maratengʼ ti mana ka gima aume gi pien gugru.
4 The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:
Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osemiyo apongʼ kod puonj, mondo omi angʼe wach manyalo hoyogo ngʼama ni e chandruok. Ochiewa pile okinyi kokinyi, kendo oyawo ita mondo abed gi winjo ka ngʼat mipuonjo.
5 And I have not put myself against him, or let my heart be turned back from him.
Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto oseyawo pacha kendo ok asetamore winjo wachne; bende ok asedok chien.
6 I was offering my back to those who gave me blows, and my face to those who were pulling out my hair: I did not keep my face covered from marks of shame.
Ne achiwora ne joma goya, ne joma pudho yie tika; kendo ne ok apando wangʼa ne joma nyiera kendo ngʼulo kuoma olawo.
7 For the Lord God is my helper; I will not be put to shame: so I have made my face like a rock, and I am certain that he will give me my right.
Nikech Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto konya, ok anayud wichkuot. Kuom mano, asechomo wangʼa tir kuome maonge luoro kendo angʼeyo maber ni ok nayud achaya.
8 He who takes up my cause is near; who will go to law with me? let us come together before the judge: who is against me? let him come near to me.
Jal mabiro ngʼadona bura ni koda. Kare koro en ngʼa manyalo donjona? Owuogane oko koro! En ngʼa modonjona? Owuogane okwera.
9 See, the Lord God is my helper; who will give a decision against me? truly, all of them will become old like a robe; they will be food for the worm.
En mana Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema konya. En ngʼa mabiro ngʼadona bura? Gibiro ti mana ka law, ma olwenda ochamo.
10 Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support.
En ngʼatno e dieru moluoro Jehova Nyasaye kendo mako weche jatichne? Weuru ngʼat mawuotho e mudho kaonge ler ogen kuom nying Jehova Nyasaye kendo osud machiegni gi Nyasache.
11 See, all you who make a fire, arming yourselves with burning branches: go in the flame of your fire, and among the branches you have put a light to. This will you have from my hand, you will make your bed in sorrow.
To koro un jogo duto ma jomok mach kendo moko mirni maliel, dhiuru mondo uwuothi e ler mar mach mumoko kata e ligek mach musemoko. Ma e gima udhi yudo e lweta: Ubiro rieru piny gi rem malit.
